I will say, I am not Hyde. the doms are real today
wearing my favorite slacks to work, and despite the waist being the same belt hold on everything, the ass/hammies are getting very snug lol
so yesterdays pull, and also a couple weeks ago when I did 500 from the rack I felt awesome for the rest of the session. Wanted to go ham on the gym, but man a few hours later both days... smoked me lol.
I just wanted to stay and enjoy the insane pump!
Nice bench work!!
You got 300 on bench recently right?
Me neither but I the only reason I didn't go higher was cause I was huffing and puffing and ever since you asked about it I've been really thinking about my form a lot lol
Baddass dog. Just a pet dog?
Hard to say if he's our pet or we are his just yet, but yeah. The breeder used to do 100% K9 for cops so the last dog my wife got from them she asked for the most dopey lazy one she had, now she's shifted to ESA type breeding, helper dogs etc
Most likely execution differences.
Probably not bad form, just different execution styles. Some people do them extremely strict, and controlled on the way up and down. Some people do them with a more explosive concentric where momentum gets slightly involved to the the weight up then control it on the way down. Neither of these are incorrect form, just a difference in execution. Depending on focus I will use either of these two styles. As long as done the same way throughout the meso you are going to be able to appropriately track load and volume as you progress. Oh yeah the third way to do them is with body english, and momentum. Which can be okay with a controlled negative if trying to push weight or increase strength but for hypertrophy is not the ideal method of doing them. Why risk an injury for something that is not more effective.
I think so too, especially since it sounds like you are kind of recomping at this weight.
Yeah, he is definitely using TUT and shortened ROM on those, creating a lot of metabolic growth signalling. You do what works best for you if you have a true understanding of what you are doing and how your body works. We all have to tweak things for the best contraction and SFR for us, not how everyone else does it. In the end it is not about the weight, it is about the tension created in the muscle. So however you find that works best for you is YOUR bread and butter.I do go higher than this, but similar movement in general. I use much heavier weight though.

thank you Sir, I appreciate that!
Reading this reminded me of a shirt lolInvalid Link RemovedYou know that was a fun session. Hit the driving range after, came home and worked in the yard for a few hrs, edging, whacking, mowing etc. Finally sat on the couch for a few and all the sudden my glutes and hammies let me know it was a good session
That's one thing I've noticed more of lately, same day DOMs vs 1 or 2 days later.
Pretty nice session!! 35 reps that got to be a pump! Bet you had to walk sideways out the gym doors after that lay workout!

I'll be like you coming up with this fast on Thursday. I'm hoping i make it without anything so I can start 24 hours fasts once or twice per week.
I agree wholeheartedly on the benefits of fasting, but never believed the part about muscle retention until you guys did it. Every resource out there of fasting people I've seen are smaller then when they started (keto proponents also), but since I'm being forced into it with this procedure Friday, I may as well go all out and give it a shot.raw dogging just the plates
"it's all about the science experiment"
that was an awesome watch and break down. I could see trying to triple band then up to 205, double bands to who knows what, single band maybe at existing PR. coincidentally those are the three colors of bands I have as well so it's a great experiment to roll with.
as you know I've only been playing with fasting since about December and have been scouring the net and podcasts to learn more from Kleen and Hyde's recommendations. I think IF gives people a great start, is likely going to lower calories for most people, and provide a number of health benefits, especially if you stop eating a few hours before bed. 16:8 being the most common... I like 20:4 on most rest days cause I can eat whatever the hell I want for dinner to be honest, and I maintain. but for cutting, the real magic seems to happen at 30+ hours. I think all forms of fasting seem to have phenomenal health benefits though vs our normal routine in society of being constantly fed.
it's weird,
I'm praying it's the solution to my bad sleep while cutting issues then. Here's to getting my hopes up!
